I do not recommend Tony's place. Yes the location is good if you want to be near BTS and MRT but it's also very touristy and not the true Bangkok. Phra Khanang is real Thai neighborhoods and real Thai people and real Thai food. And also very close to BTS. But my main reason I don't recommend Tony's place is because I am a Superhost and have many airbnbs and NEVER have I had a home owner tell me to just move out when i let him know there was no wifi. First he told me if i want fast wifi i should go to the rooftop. When I told him I needed to work during my stay and nicely asked for hi speed wifi he told me I could just move out. I was shocked and appalled. I simply asked about wifi!! To me wifi is the most important thing I need to provide my guests. I also couldn't figure out how to switch on the power to the stove. Its hidden in a very tricky place. and he never answered me. The tv looks great but it's not really hooked up. It doesn't do anything. just turns on. You can tell that all of his answers are copy and paste. He's not really responding to you as a person. He's on autopilot. That's not how I do Airbnb. I actually like helping people when they move in.
You have to be very brave when you move in to this building because there are signs EVERYWHERE ...NO AIRBNB RENTALS ...lobby ...elevators...they are scary. They tell you there is a fine. So at first it's a bit intimidating.
I also was really looking forward to the pool. But it's covered with a roof so it's freezing cold. The building itself is meant to be a bit higher end but what Tony did to the unit is very low budget. The furniture, the towels, the art, the sheets, are all very budget. He cuts corners. Every time you try to use an outlet you need to use the multi plug but it's so cheap your blow dryer or charger falls out. Super annoying. Just spend a little more for a good multi plug.
One of the reasons I am complaining about Tony - which i never really do to fellow hosts- is because he is full of rules and treating you like you are lucky to get to rent his place but mostly because I could have stayed at a lot of nice places for about half the cost. I thought his unit would be more hi end so I splurged and paid double. He should give top service if he's going to charge so much per night.
I take my Airbnb business very seriously. I expect other hosts to do the same. This is my honest review. And in my defense, I tried to talk to Tony when I first arrived but he was not interested. Simply told me to move out when I simply asked for wifi in the unit. Not a lot to ask for.
